[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
I'm back, with more questions. :|

So, I'm sorry I'm retarded, but is this the jist of how this works? The only thing that enabling safe system does is allows you to flash zips now. Whether or not safe system is on or off, nothing will directly effect your safe rom, the safe rom being your stock/default rom. If this is the case, how would I go about flashing your debloated rom as my stock with safestrap installed? Or am I that far off?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
Yes that is what the safe system does but it goes a bit further then that. It also enables a 2nd-init, Like a second system (a sort of emulator) The stock rom would need to have safe system support added in order to boot with safestrap as the safe system. Use it this way: the safestrap is for roms like cm7 and cm9. the bootstrap is for stock roms and theme's for the stock rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
So I can use bootstrap to mess with my stock rom by rebooting with the apk for bootstrap and safestrap to mess with the unsafe rom? I figured only one or the other would work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
No you can NOT use both at the same time, idk what will happen for sure but I imaginge you phone will pull a gun out and shoot you.. :cool:

And read this, It will help ya understand safestrap.

http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Awesome, thanks again, and again, and again.

So if I want to use your debloated rom, I have to install bootstrap, flash it, then uninstall and install safestrap?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
That is correct. Also dont flash the cwm on boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duke8804:
When i try to wipe the dalvik cache i receive E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]. Did i do something wrong?

I restored from scratch with the fxz and started from the beginning.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Have you installed the new v.2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] duke8804:
yes I did. I restored from the FXZ and re-partitioned my sdcard. just like i would if it was my first time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The issue with sd-ext something that lfaber06 and I know about, and are looking into it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duke8804:
Sorry I thought it was working now with v2.

One other question. I am able to install and rom and everything but can not wipe it and install another does that have to do with the dalvik cache?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
It does wipe the dalvik cache in v2 the error can now be safely ignored. V1 was installing the /system to the wrong location and that has been fixed in V2. However V2 is unable to boot the safe system, Jim and I are looking into it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdantuono:
I am very aware of rooting and flashing ect. But I was just wondering if someone could let me know the process of doing this from a stock unrooted phone. Also wow guys you devs are truly unbelievable
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Go here and root first:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327741

Then follow the instructions in the OP. Just hang tight though we are working on a fix for the issues that safestrap is having right now.

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdantuono:
Alright thanks alot I knew rooting was the first step I was just unaware if I had to do anything silly in-between
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope, root is really the only requirement here, that and following the instructions on partitioning, in the OP.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devsk:
Any progress on this front? I am excited by the dual boot idea (although it will wipe my settings one time, the first time).
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Anybody know why when i go to partition my sd card, it can't be remounted, and a bad disk error is given in minitool
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Did you format it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Never mind I got it working :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] mrkavanagh:
Is it safe to try safestrap? It would be the first time for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] PeteSeiler2010:
I would wait until the OP is updated, just to be safe. That is what I am doing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Not quite yet, please hold tight. I am working some updates to the CWM portion and some scripts to lock it all together, lfaber06 is working on several pieces as well right now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mrkavanagh:
thanks guys
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
OK so I finally got my new sd card in and formatted appropriately. My main question is when using the safe system you say to use stock rom, couldn't I use the stock deodexed rom as my main rom and then flashing another rom on the safe side? Surely you're not limited to having to go back to completely stock just to use this?

Finally got new laptop setup and It's time to do some exploring :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
To do that you will install the atrix 2 bootstrap, then boot into the bootstrap, flash the deodexed "stock" ROM, then make sure there are no remnants of the bootstrap on the phone, and install the safestrap. then enable the safestrap, and flash whatever you want for your second ROM.

Now with all of that said safestrap is still not really ready for prime time yet.... It may not boot your second ROM right now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Thanks Jim, just wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. So basically all I need to do once safestrap is fixed is to removed bootstrap plus all remnants and install safestrap as they can't coexist.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
If I flash completely back to stock through rsd lite does it remove the safestrap?
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Can't you just delete it?

Or go back to an older backup?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
Yes, It will make it like the day you walked out of the store minus the sales reps fingerprint's.:rolleyes: you can also delete mot_boot_mode and rename the mot_boot_mode.orig file in to mot_boot_mode and delete the safestrap folder under /system/etc. But... Rsd is so much easier.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
Alright thanks because I'm playing around with some rom building and want to make sure I can get it back to stock if I have to make an insurance claim :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
If your building for bootstrap then this file will save you alot of time when using rsd. it just wipes the phone and installs /system only. (really thats all you need) just save your old xml and put this in its place.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
[Motorola Atrix 2] mrkavanagh:
I'm going to go out on a lem here and ask if this is dead....its been about 9 days since last post and no updates
[Motorola Atrix 2] amynjimmy:
Is safe strap gonna ever be resurrected
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No, we really don't have a valid need, and it was just too slow due to running the second rom off of an SDcard.

GPS, Wifi and BT Testing

Could someone write some basic tutorials on how to verify/test GPS, wifi and BT funtions? For those of us who are new to Android it would helpful in verifying which problems are truly present. Also perhaps show how to find the serial number - for example: some don't know you have to click status - because there are a some erroneous posts out there. There may be users who assume something works or doesn't work, based on limited knowledge and these inaccurate findings only serve to muddy up the works.

There's a lot of animosity about the influx of newbies (and trust me, as a newbie it doesn't feel good). I think the first step is to educate. If some of these troubleshooting steps are laid out, more people can contribute in an intelligent way.

I thought this would be a good thread for the Guides thread, but it is closed and I cannot send PMs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Thanks - Great Info

One thing you can add for all us amateurs is how to use ADB to install off market apps, stuff like that. Things the non-power user can benefit from. Some simple command line structure would be great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
i wont add it to the guide, because adb install is pretty self explanatory but this

make sure you can install non-market apps

adb install app.apk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
for GPS, use GPS Test app on the market

for BT and wifi testing, i'll just connect my device via BT or adhoc wifi and do the testing on my PC itself, more accurate and better programs

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrticantOwl:
Just a small suggestion, adb won't accept commands if they are capitalized.

For example "ADB devices" will work perfectly, but "ADB Devices" won't.

So, in order to help the newest of newbies, you might want to put the commands in lowercase in the first post. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachyon1986:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile (SGH T-989). My problem is that , after sending a SMS , I always get a pop-up from my carrier indicating my balance.

As soon as this pop-up appears (along with a vibration that I can't seem to disable, despite having vibrations disabled in the settings menu), my notification volume gets reset to 25% always.

Is there any way fix this? I downloaded an app called "Volume Locker" that resolves this , but I'd appreciate it if I could fix this issue without it, and especially that vibration.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] joshuacul:
hi all im looking for this firmware its from Puerto Rico ive updated the phone to 2.3.6 works fine but screen go off and wifi randomly. also i have another one is there a way i could extract its firmware so i could just reflash it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Quemalotodo:
Sure you can.

First of all take the "another one" and digit this codes at dial:

*2767*4387264636# It gives you the Product Code (write it down)

*#*#1234#*#* It gives you the Actual version

*#*#44336#*#* It gives you the Initial version

Post the results and I will give you the configuration to use with "Check Fus Downloader"

You can get any frimware from Kies knowing this values for any region/operator but only the latest version of the oficial firmware.

Good luck.

[General Questions and Answers] dronelol:
Hello, I have pretty solid belief after trying to fix my phone for 3 days now that its bricked badly. I was in the process of loading a new rom and in the process of doing so a breaker in our house went out and the power in my room turned off and so did my computer in the process of putting a new rom in.

So the first thing it did was show a phone--/!\--computer symbol, and I found a few ppl with similar problems and I tried to pull battery and go into download mode by holding down volume + and volume - and put the battery in after a few seconds and then usb. No luck

I then tried to go through the other solution of downloading unbrickable infuse mod and setting that up but once it started talking about soldering stuff I was lost and I scraped that idea. I tried some small other stuff like leaving the battery out of it well I went to work. come home still no luck. Finally I tried the "well its pretty much dead as it lets try this." and I tried to flash GTG's ultimate unbrick to my phone... and I first I thought it worked.. it found my phone, and everything went smooth then after that my phone stopped working completely. No power, no logo, no sound, not even seen by my computer.

Any help is appreciated i've been trying to find and rummage through as many threads as possible and use them to help, but I'm at a loss. Going to continue but any advice would be helpful.

I'm an avid follower of this site and forum, and have had this phone the day it released. Any help is appreciated thank you in advance ^_^

Here's the problem. I have a hardware problem, so i wanted to unroot the device and send it to the service with warranty. I downgraded to 1.32 WWE RUU. i unrooted the device and also S-ON. then i tried OTA update. it updated and booted normally. then two more updates, last one being 2.50, and it couldn't boot after that. i'm stuck at the white htc bootscreen. no "quietly brilliant", just a white HTC screen.

i tried factory reset, no luck. then i tried to go to recovery mode, and there is a red triangle with an exlamation mark in it. i can't access recovery mode. i can't seem to have usb access to the sd card. i don't have a usb adapter to use. what can i do to get it to boot?

Had to root a friends DHD and got f'ed up... I used the Ace Hack Kit and there was an error during the procedure, someone pulled the USB Connection when i was out of the room cause he needed the USB-Cable -.-

When i Boot the Phone its gets stuck on the white HTC-Bootscreen. If I Hold vol. down and Power before im getting into Bootloader, from there I can get into Android-Recovery (NO, not CWM!!!).

First HBOOT was at 2.50 after (half of the procedure) its on 0.85.

Any chance to get the Phone back to life?

Bring back to HTC, explain the OTA story and ask them to repare.

nb: in fact I have an idea.

Wait for AiAS61 to give his feedback, if it works (and if your DHD is under warranty) then do the same. It seems that you erased everything, wecan't see now that you had rooted your phone.

Okay, I think I've figured out whats the problem....

I need to get a Goldcard, cause this DHD was branded by Vodafone GER. So I need to make a Goldcard with mmc2, than i can put a PD98IMG.zip on it or RUU flash via Bootloader in Fastbootmode.

Think Error 131: User ID Error refers to the fact, that the RUU has no permisson the write!

I will find some with an DHD and than i will read out the mmc2 Rev CID from my SD-Card with his Phone, make a goldcard and flash stock RUU. Hope this will work :P

U r writing that u can see the red Triangle, pleas hold Vol+ button and press Power button, than u should get in to Recovery (think into Android Recovery,like in my case)

Beginner here.

I already know the difference between stock ROM/firmware and custom ROM, and why they're called such.

What I don't know is why overwriting the stock ROM with a custom ROM is called flashing, as is with flashing a recovery.

Regarding stock recovery and custom recovery, why is it called recovery? What exactly are we recovering? Also, is the recovery the cellphone equivalent of BIOS?
